It was already an hour later when the Queen Mother had time to go to the guest palace to meet the Emperor and Queen. As soon as they heard that the Queen Mother had arrived, the two people hurriedly got up and went to greet them.
"Mother!"
"Get started!" The Queen Mother rolled her eyes at the Emperor, then walked to the side and sat down.
The emperor and empress quickly stood up in front of the queen mother, waiting respectfully to be scolded.
"The emperor is very good at planning. He knows that the Ai family loves the prince, so he called the prince here early. Don't worry, this time, the Ai family even trains the prince, who is kneeling outside right now!" The Queen Mother looked at her.
Emperor, his eyes are cold.
The emperor's face froze, he glanced at the queen beside him, and then said: "Mother, not to mention me, even the immortals may not be able to predict this matter of the Yongchang Hou Mansion!"
"Oh, that's what the Ai family told the old lady of the Yongchang Marquis Mansion. Guess what she said?" The Queen Mother sneered, "She said, is it possible that there is no royal law at the foot of the imperial city?"
After hearing this, the emperor couldn't help but his ears turned slightly red: "This..."
"You can't blame the Yongchang Marquis Mansion for being so concerned about it. You also know that if you didn't control your daughter well back then, the Yongchang Marquis Mansion's daughter would not have been lost! It's better now. I finally found her back and found out that because of
One of your bestowed marriages, the only girl in their family, has escaped death several times. How would you feel if it were you?" The Queen Mother patted her heart, "Emperor, oh emperor, I suffered this for your daughter.
Sin, when you think about it, you feel guilty!"
The queen, who had been standing aside, turned slightly red-eyed.
The Queen Mother glanced at the queen, and then whispered: "The Ai family does not blame Chunhe. The Ai family is most happy that Chunhe can come back safely, but we must also remember the sacrifices made by the Yongchang Marquis Mansion to the royal family. Their family
Since our ancestors, we have been loyal to the royal family. The sons and daughters under the old lady’s knees have all rushed to the battlefield to guard the bitter cold land of our country, guarding the country and the people with their lives. We cannot let them feel cold!"
The emperor was silent for a long time, and then said: "But it has been so long, and the girl of the Meng family was still Su Xubai's concubine at that time. If these things are brought up again, it will be even worse for the girl of the Meng family!"
"Since it is an old matter, there is no need to mention it again. But in the future, the Yongchang Marquis Mansion will do something extraordinary to Zhongshu Ling and even the Wuchang Marquis Mansion. If the emperor can turn a blind eye, he should try not to pay too much attention!" The Queen Mother took a deep breath.
In one breath, "Although the Yongchang Marquis Mansion may seem arrogant, they always abide by their duties and they will not do anything out of the ordinary!"
"But……"
"Emperor, the Hao family has been at the peak of their power these past few years. In the final analysis, it is the emperor who employs people unkindly and does not know people well. If it were not for the young prince of the Yongchang Houfu who suppressed the Huizhou incident with the power of the Yongchanghoufu in the court for so many years,
I'm afraid it's hard to explain to the emperor!" The Queen Mother looked at the emperor and said coldly.
The emperor paused and said no more.
"The Ai family knows that you want to change the noble family, but they have never said a word in these years. Even if you touch my mother's family, the Ai family has never said a word. After all, when dynasties change, the emperor needs his confidants, but the Yongchang Marquis Mansion
, Ningyuan Marquis Mansion, and even the old ministers, who are not working hard for the court?" The Queen Mother looked at the emperor, her eyes gradually became harsh.
The emperor said nothing, but the queen beside her quietly lowered her head.
"When you chose the concubine, the Ai family and the late emperor didn't say anything. It was up to you. The queen has been considered a virtuous person in recent years, so the Ai family handed over the harem to the queen. However, the queen's natal family's heart is getting bigger and bigger.
Come on!" The Queen Mother slammed the table.
The queen's legs softened and she knelt down directly: "Mother..."
"The emperor and the empress are of the same mind, and the Ai family is happy to hear it. But empress, you have to understand that you are now the wife of the Xie family, not the daughter who was once a maid. The prince is capable, has both ability and political integrity, and will be able to hold a big position in the future. You let your mother do it
As the family grows and becomes arrogant, aren't you afraid that it will become a constraint for your son?" The Queen Mother looked at the Queen and said softly, with disappointment in her eyes.
"Mother, yes, it's because the son and daughter-in-law didn't take care of everything!" The emperor said quickly, "The queen, she also has the heart to protect the calf!"
The Queen Mother looked at the emperor and empress in front of her, feeling quite helpless.
The Queen Mother gave birth to two sons in her life. The eldest son became the emperor. However, he was weak in nature and was not qualified for a big job. However, it was the rule to establish the eldest son as the eldest son. Although the late emperor was worried, he also felt that he had the help of virtuous ministers.
Although you cannot expand your ambitions, you can still stick to your country.
Although the emperor was weak, he loved his people as his own children and had been a good emperor all his life. However, the queen was not very sensible and always wanted to support her natal family and trample the aristocratic family under her feet. Hao Zhengwei took advantage of the queen's reputation.
He only clings to the empress's natal family. If he only clings to the empress's natal family, that's fine. But this person has a wrong mind and tries to influence the court. He clings to the empress's natal family in person, and secretly has a fierce fight with the imperial concubine.
Although the Queen Mother was in the palace, she was not unaware of these things. She just felt that she was getting older and did not want to interfere with these things. She always hoped that her children and grandchildren would be blessed. However, these things happened because the Yongchang Hou family lost their lives.
The little daughter who died all made trouble on the stage.
Even if it's not for the royal family's face, but just to keep the hearts of the generals who stick to the bitter cold land at bay, this matter can't continue like this.
"The Hao family must be eliminated, and the queen's natal family must also be punished!" The Queen Mother's voice was very cold, even with a hint of chill, "The Ai family has been under cultivation for many years, and I don't want to bother with this matter. I will help you appease the Marquis Yongchang and Marquis Ningyuan.
This is already a concession from the Ai family, you have to decide what to do. If the Ai family waits until the Ai family takes care of this matter, the Ai family won't mind if the queen changes to someone else to do it!"
"Yes, I understand!" The emperor bowed his head and agreed.
When the Queen Mother got up and was about to leave, she looked at the Queen who was kneeling there. After a long time, she said: "In a few days, it will be the late Emperor's birthday. The Queen should go out of the palace to do some repairs, and think of it as praying for the late Emperor."
!”
"Mother!" The emperor hurriedly caught up, "Mother, the queen knows she is wrong. She is poor outside and the queen is weak..."
"Oh? Are you so weak that you can't pray for the late emperor? How about the Ai family go to the imperial mausoleum in person to accompany the late emperor!" The Queen Mother looked back at the emperor coldly, her voice becoming very cold.
The queen who had been kneeling there quickly ran over and grabbed the emperor: "I'm going, Queen Mother, I'm going to pray. This is what I should do, I'm going!"
The emperor wanted to say something else, but the queen held his hand tightly.
Although the emperor felt sorry for the queen, he also understood that the things the queen's family did behind the scenes were indeed too much, so he could only bite the bullet and comply.
When the Queen Mother left, the nanny beside her couldn't help but ask: "The Queen Mother clearly doesn't want to get involved in this matter, so why do she take the risk of angering His Majesty to interfere with this matter?"
"The emperor is a soft-hearted person. He and the queen have had a long-term relationship as husband and wife, and the love between husband and wife is very similar to that of the late emperor. Unfortunately, the queen is not clear about things. Her brother has done countless stupid things, many of which are stupid.
It was the prince who wiped the butt. This man's heart cannot be nurtured, and it will be a disaster if he grows up!" The Queen Mother sighed deeply, "Wanwan's incident can be regarded as a wake-up call for the Ai family!"
"The Queen Mother means that Mrs. Yongchang Hou deliberately made such a fuss?" Mammy was a little surprised.
"Over the years, the emperor valued civil servants and suppressed military generals in disguise. The Yongchang Marquis Mansion remained silent and allowed the emperor to connive with Hao Zhengwei to get rid of many military generals. However, if Jiangshan Sheji had no weapons, it would be a fat sheep in the eyes of the foreign countries. Yongchang
Mrs. Hou is telling the Ai family that if the emperor continues like this, sooner or later I will become a piece of fish on the chopping board and be slaughtered by others!" The Queen Mother sighed longly.
Mammy lowered her eyes: "But after all, Your Majesty has been the emperor for decades..."
"The late emperor worked hard to govern and spent many years as a slave, so that we can have the current peaceful and prosperous age. The Ai family cannot let the brothers who follow him conquer the world feel cold!" The Queen Mother patted the mother's hand, "He is the son of the Ai family, no matter how angry he is,
, it’s only for a few days, it doesn’t matter! Just find someone who knows how to make him a bowl of custard and coax him out!”
